Default How do they work?

Blue and White. PS/controller gives a variety of programmes. Including
flashing the blue and white alternately, or all on together. But only two
wires from the PS. I can see reversing the polarity could have one colour
or the other, but how both at once with no apparent flicker? Fast
switching?


Julian Ilett explains two-wire pulse-controlled RGB LEDs here. Not sure
if your blue/white is exactly the same.
